The University of Mount Olive is a private university in Mount Olive, North Carolina, United States. Chartered in 1951, the university is sponsored by the Original Free Will Baptist Convention and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. A member of the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas, its sports teams compete as the Mount Olive Trojans.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the affordable net price of $17,893/year and modest debt load ($20,811) are genuine strengths, but a 47% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish — that's a real concern worth asking the school about directly. Median earnings of $43,700 a decade out are modest but workable given the relatively low debt. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, faith-affiliated community in rural North Carolina and have a clear plan to stay on track to graduation.
